Pitt offers advice for modern times

Brad Pitt has turned modern etiquette guide for his favorite technology magazine.

The movie star agreed to offer up good and bad advice for Wired magazine’s new Ask a Basterd feature, as part of his promotional duties for his new Quentin Tarantino movie “Inglourious Basterds.”

Pitt offers tips on videogame manners, pornography and online lies and even tackles one fan who asks, “Can I talk on the phone while taking a whiz?”

The Basterd’s advice: “No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom.”

He adds, “Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Pitt graces the cover of the new Wired and poses for photos inside. One features him standing at a urinal in a public toilet, texting a pal.

Tarantino joins Pitt for one movie theater photo to accompany the question, “Can I answer my cell during a movie if it seems urgent?”

The actor, who appears to be videotaping the film he’s watching as Tarantino, seated beside him, chats on his cellphone, jokes, “Never. It may be a brief interruption… but what if someone sitting near you is trying to make a decent bootleg… Don’t be so damn selfish.”
